Hi everyone not sure how many remember me it's been almost a year next month since our 8th and final ivf transfer ended in a chemical pregnancy.
As you know we attended an adoption event last July but needed to wait nearer to 9-12mth following final ivf before applying.
In the meantime we were referred back to our local gynae (7mth wait after they cancelled last minute...3times) as we had no funded ivf cycles left and unable to afford to go private it was suggested we might go back to try clomid for one final attempt. Well.... Appointment was going well until I popped up on the bed (bearing in mind iv had 3laparoscopies already) I was told I have a large endometrioma (cyst) on my right ovary and a lot of endometriosis even coming down into my vagina. My Fallopian tubes looked to be a little inflamed suggesting possible blockage from endometriosis....great. Things were not looking good at all and suggestions of needing dye put through my tubes and a major op (on the waiting list). We just knew it wasn't meant to be and had mentally prepared for a very long time for this point.
So... We began our adoption journey, first 2 selection processes and interview passed with flying colours and a glowing recommendation from our social worker to go to the next stage, but as with any good news always comes the bad...
Right before the interview I had found a lump in my upper inner arm and had an ultrasound followed by urgent mri where I was then told I have a solid mass tumour, then came the referral to an oncologist and a biopsy taken. I had to let the social worker know straightaway... As expected we cannot be recommended to go further forward for adoption until everything is 'sorted'.
Everything we have been through over the past 9years iv managed to remain as strong as can be but this has been the worst yet I cannot count how many times iv cried. I feel like my body is letting us down once again in our journey to become parents. I'm scared as can be and anxious for biopsy results and the not wanting to take in the talks of radiation and surgery and possible loss of feeling not mentioning the C word for fear of jinxing myself. I know most of this isn't related to ivf and fertility but I didn't know who else to turn to for positivity as I feel so utterly hopeless right now.
If you have got this far then I thank you for at least reading, I just needed to vent somewhere. I hope things are going far better for all of you lovely ladies 💗💗Xx
